Nur Bekri, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and director of the National Energy Administration, who is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, is under investigation. His sudden dismissal is somewhat unexpected.

The official website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China announced that Nur Bekri, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and director of the National Energy Administration, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and is undergoing disciplinary review and supervision investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Committee.Nur Bekri thus became the first provincial and ministerial-level senior official of an ethnic minority to be sacked after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in November last year.

Just visited Russia with Han Zheng this week and made a report on investment cooperation

Nur Bekri's sudden fall from the horse was somewhat unexpected.As one of the few minority officials at the ministerial level, Nur middot; Bekri has had a high exposure rate in official media in recent years.

On September 18, Nur middot; Bekri also accompanied Han Zheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China and Vice Premier of the State Council, to visit Russia, and made a report at the fifth meeting of the China-Russia Investment Cooperation Committee held in Moscow as a representative of the Chinese Secretariat.As soon as he returned to Beijing, he was announced by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to be investigated.

As for the cause of Nur Bekri's accident, some analysts say it may be related to the excessive oil and water of the National Energy Administration.

The Energy Bureau is in charge of the approval and subsidy of major energy projects in China. These projects often involve billions or even tens of billions of yuan (10 billion yuan is about 2 billion Singapore dollars) in investment, and are contested by all parts of China, especially the central and western regions.focus.

In October 2014, Wei Pengyuan, deputy director of the Coal Department of the Energy Bureau, was investigated. Disciplinary inspectors found more than 200 million yuan in cash from his home, which shows how rich the Energy Bureau is.

Just the day before yesterday, Wang Xiaolin, Nur Bekri's deputy and former deputy director of the National Energy Administration, was prosecuted by the Hengshui City Procuratorate in Hebei Province to the Hengshui City Intermediate People's Court.

The prosecution accused Wang Xiaolin of taking advantage of his position to seek benefits for the client, accepting the client's property, the amount was particularly huge, and he should be investigated for criminal responsibility for the crime of accepting bribes.Wang Xiaolin was investigated by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection earlier this year for alleged serious violations of discipline.

However, some analysts believe that when Nur Bekri took over the National Energy Administration in 2014, a corruption case occurred in the National Energy Administration. Many middle and high-level officials were arrested, and the former director Liu Tienan was sentenced to life imprisonment.

At that time, some public opinion pointed out that Nur Bekri faced the two major challenges of energy reform and anti-corruption in order to gain a firm foothold in the Energy Bureau.In this context, Nur Bekri should not take the initiative to hit the muzzle of the gun. He may also have a problem during his work in Xinjiang.

57-year-old Nur Bekli was born in a Uyghur family in the village of Bole, Xinjiang.In 1978, Nur Bekri, who had only been in high school for one year, was admitted to the Department of Politics of Xinjiang University, majoring in political theory.

His college classmate once recalled in the local media: Bekley likes to read and never puts down the book. This habit has not changed until now.He is lively and popular, and teachers and classmates of all nationalities like him.It is important to note that he has a talent for organizing events.

Known as an environmentally friendly mayor, once the youngest mayor of a provincial capital

Nur middot; Bekri's official career has been smooth and smooth. At the age of 31, he served as the propaganda minister of Xinjiang University, at the age of 35, he served as the deputy secretary-general of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region Government, and at the age of 37, he served as the mayor of Urumqi, the youngest mayor of a provincial capital city in China at that time.

In view of the severe air pollution in Urumqi, Nur Bekri launched the Blue Sky Project after he became mayor, and adopted a series of measures such as controlling heavily polluting industries, vehicle exhaust, and greening barren hills, and won the title of environmental protection mayor.

In 2000, 39-year-old Nur Bekri became a member of the Standing Committee of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region Party Committee of the Communist Party of China and became a member of the deputy ministerial level.At the end of 2007, Nur Bekri became the acting chairman of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region Government and became one of the few post-60s (born in the 1960s) ministerial-level officials in China's political arena at that time, with a bright career.

Nur middot; Bekri can speak standard and fluent Mandarin.After being elected as the chairman of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region in January 2008, he pushed for bilingual education in Uyghur and Chinese, and asked to start with children.

He emphasized: If the children of common people have mastered the Chinese language, they can travel all over the country with ease; if they cannot pass the Chinese language test, they will not be able to go out of the countryside.

In December 2014, Nur middot; Bekri was transferred to the corrupt National Energy Administration.Since the National Energy Administration is a vice-ministerial unit, Nur Bekri, who has been chairman of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region government for seven years, is considered to have suffered a significant setback in his career.

At the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China held in November last year, Nur Bekri, who was originally a member of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, did not enter the new Central Committee, further dimming the political prospects.

But Nur Bekri's demise still surprised public opinion, because it is not easy for the government to train minority cadres, especially senior cadres, and they tend to receive more care.As a former political star and minority official, the fall of Nur Bekri shows that the CCP's anti-corruption has broken through another restricted area.
